Reminders.app locations

I can't seem to get reminders.app to update the list of location-based reminders. When I type "home" in a location based reminder, it pulls up two old "home" addresses I had listed...I tried changing my contact card to another one then changing back, but it didn't seem to refresh. I couldn't find a pref file or anything else that I could delete...any help?
It seems like it is caching addresses somewhere.

Well it turns out it can't be done. This strikes me as odd as the buildup of unwanted locations makes the app cumbersome to use. If you have the same problem may I suggest you file a complaint with Apple here.

Reminders app location problem

I have two addresses setup in my "ME" contact (both on my mac and phone). One is home and one is work. But there is a THIRD address (with a red pin next to it) on my iphone that shows up when I activate "Location" based reminders. So there are FOUR options in my list:
current location
home
work
"Roberts Home" ....at a random address that I have never heard of and that is NOT in my address book. (With the RED PIN) <== I WANT TO DELETE THIS ADDRESS & PIN
So I neither know HOW this address got here (the lesser problem) or how to GET RID OF IT (the greater problem).
I thought that all location-based reminders had to be either at a "current location" or in an address in your address book?
Can anybody help other than suggesting that I reinstall the OS and then rebuilding my phone (instead of restoring from backup to avoid re-adding the offending PIN)? I can't see where this "PIN" might be saved...it doesn't show up on any maps, or bookmarks, or in my address book that I can find.
Thanks!

I was having a similar issue. There was a pin at a strange location that it thought was my address (in addition to Home and Work). It turned out that it was due to the Facebook app, which only has my city and state info for my address, and thus it put a pin near the middle of my city and called it my address. I went into Settings -> Facebook and disallowed Contacts to use my FB account. This made the pin disappear in Reminders. It also made the phone not know who I was in the contacts. Fix that by going to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> My Info and re-select yourself.
I hope this helps! If not Facebook, maybe you have another app linked to your contacts that's causing the erroneous pin.

Reminders App - Location Based Reminder Questions

So you can only setup a locaiton based reminder based on an already entered address in a contact?
You can't just bring up a Google Map, and select a locaiton? It has to be an already entered into the phone address?
I don't have all the address I want, but if I could pick a spot on a map, that would be big time.
Not an option?

How can i save multiple locations to my reminders app on the iphone 4?

I want to be reminded to do a task when I arrive home. Is it possible to save my home location (and other useful locations) to the reminders app? This is more useful than guessing when I will arrive at a location and setting a reminder for then.
If not possible at the moment, Apple please include this in the next iOS update. Thank you.

Yes, this is possible. Go into your contacts list and choose yourself (hopefully you're in there and set up as the user on the phone.) Then enter in your addresses (home, work, school, etc.) and next time you set up a location based reminder those address will be in there.

Cannot set location in Reminders app

I have my location turned on, and enabled it once again during set up, and the remind at a location option does not appear in the options when you press "remind me" within the reminders app.
I have got an iphone 3GS 16GB and a iPad 2, same problem appears on both devices.
Any help would be appreciated,
thanks.

thats all i got.. if so; maybe restore, and reinstall ios5

How do I delete locations in Reminders app iOS 8

In the Reminders app on iOS 8 when I turn on "remind me at a location" I see a growing list of locations most of which I'd like to delete. I am unable to figure out how to do this. Anyone know?

Well it turns out it can't be done. This strikes me as odd as the buildup of unwanted locations makes the app cumbersome to use. If you have the same problem may I suggest you file a complaint with Apple here.

Reminders.app would like to use your current location.

When I set a location-based Reminder on my iPhone 5S, a window pops up on my Mavericks-iMac asking permission, "'Reminders.app' would like to use your current location," along with radio buttons offering OK or Don't Allow. I have scoured settings on my phone and on my Mavericks iMac--I should not be getting this message.
Your thoughts appreciated.

I'd suggest everyone else uses that page too. Apple probably don't read these posts so if you have something to say direct it at the iOS or OS X feedback forms.

Can't Set Time in "Reminders" App

This seems like a really basic question that should be a non-issue, but I can't figure out how to set a specific Time for the "Reminders" application on my Macbook Air 2012 (with Mountian Lion).
I can creat New Reminders, name them, I can make a reminder go off "by day" or "by location".
When I try to set a reminder "by day", I can name the note - then I have the ability to make the note "show info", where I can adjust which day on the calendar the note will be for. I can adjust the date by clicking the date, which opens up a calendar.
However, if I click the time, nothing happens. It seems to automatically set the time it will go off as the start of the following hour.
Is there a bug with my app or am I doing something wrong? What am I missing?
Thanks for much for your help

First of activate Speech & Dictation from System Preferences,you will be offered a warning! If you do activate Speech & Dictation then open the Reminders app, place your cursor in the list on the right, tap the fn key twice then say what you want... Call mother 29th of September at 4 PM press fn key once to finish.
Note: the fn key is the default activation key but it can be changed to suit your needs.

Problem with Reminders App

I have a locational reminder that won't go away. Every time I come home the reminder banner pops up, but when I open the reminders app the task is not there for me to complete or delete - any ideas?

So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac". I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

Reminders app in iOS7 (Notes section in Reminders)

Hi
Some of my Reminders have a lot information in the notes section of each reminder.
When I have gone into Reminders and then into the notes section of a reminder I can modify the text, add more in or delete words or lines. No Problem.
If hit 'return' to create a new line, a new line is inserted however no matter where the new line has been entered the screen automatically scrolls down to the bottom of the section, so the new line has now dissapeared up the screen and cant be seen. If I type, the text is put in but I cant see what I am doing as the text being entered is out of sight.
If I scroll back up the screen to the new line, the keyboard dissapears, I tap on the new line to get the keyboard back and the screen scrolls back down to the bottom.
Very frustraiting and it makes the Reminders app un-usable for me.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Geozyg

Hello Geozyg,
It sounds like you are experiencing some unexpected behaviour from the Reminders app. I recommend startign by closing all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the app again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Reminders app crashes constantly. How do I fix this?

Iphone 5. Just can not use the Reminders app. Once opened, sometimes it just crashes, sometimes it crashes when opening an existing task or trying to open the menu (3 lines on upper left corner). In short, it crashes everytime. Anyone else with the same issue? How do I fix this? Thank you.

Those crash IDs are invalid.
If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more recent crash reports that have a "bp-" prefix:
*bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Reminders App

   Hi there,
     I was trying to figure out how to use the reminder app with its share features and was kinda stumped that notifications were not working. Only when the other user physically opened the reminders app did they see that it had been updated. I explored this a little further and found that the only way for notifications to work was to set a date and time for each reminder.
   My question is, is there a way to just put in your reminder on a shared reminder list and have the other party immediately get a notification without setting up date and time or location for each one?

A couple of weeks after installing iOS 5 in my iPhone 4 I have notices some lag happening all around the system, that was definitely not there in the first days after the install. Core apps, like Mail, Messages and Photos work fast as usual, however the camera, the browser and the Reminders app work with some lag.
The Reminders app in particular dysfunctions very often- it is always now very slow and sometimes it will stuck while creating a new item. Only a restart of the device fixes the issue and then only temporarily. In trying to solve this, I turned off Location Services for the Reminder app, but in vain.
I think an update on iOS 5 is much needed...

Unwanted address pins in reminders by location

There are address pins in my reminders app. I don't know how they got there and can't delete them. They are not Exchange contacts or local contacts on my phone. Any ideas how to get rid of them? I tried everything.

Location reminders only work if you have cellular iPad. From the user guide.
“On iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular models, Reminders can alert you
when you arrive at or leave a location."
"Be reminded when you arrive at or leave a location. While editing a reminder, tap , then turn on “Remind me at a location.” Tap Location, then choose a location from the list or enter an address. After you define a location, you can drag to change the size of the geofence on the map, which sets the approximate distance at which you’re reminded. You can’t save a location reminder in Outlook or Microsoft Exchange calendars.
Add common locations to your My Info card. When you set a location reminder, locations in the list include addresses from your My Info card in Contacts. Add your work, home, and other favorite addresses to your card for easy access in Reminders.”

Reminders (Using Location)

I have an iPhone 5s, IOS 7.1.
In previous versions of IOS 7, using reminders based on location was not working for me. The reminder would not appear.
I think (going from memory), I had to turn on the Background App Refresh for reminders; however, Reminders is not an option in the Background App Refresh in 7.1. Maybe it was never listed as I am going from memory.
Does anyone know if Reminders was updated in IOS 7.1? I cannot locate it in the items changed, but not all items are always included.
Thank you.
Shawn

Hi srmsrm,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below explains how to use location based Reminders. The Background App Refresh and Reminders must be turned on for this feature to work.
iOS: Using Reminders
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4970
Use location-based Reminders
To use location-based Reminders, you must turn on Location Services and Background App Refresh for Reminders. Location Services alerts you when you leave or arrive at a specific location. If you force Reminders to quit, you may not get these alerts.
To turn on the settings for location-based Reminders, follow these steps:
Tap Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn on Background App Refresh and Reminders.
Tap Settings > Privacy > Location Services and turn on Location Services and Reminders.
See these tips for location-based Reminders:
To set a location, you can use a saved contact location or manually enter an address.
You can adjust the size of the location alert radius for a reminder.
Use a specific street address, if possible.
The location service icon will remain in the status bar until you mark the reminder as complete.
Location-based Reminders are available on iPhone 4 and later, iPad (4th generation Wi-Fi + Cellular), and iPad mini (Wi-Fi + Cellular).
Note: Location reminders aren't supported by Exchange accounts.

Cheers,
- Judy
